Chapter 22            Ancient Temple

As soon as he returned to the hotel, Hu Hansan brought a group of subordinates to greet him, holding Zhu Hanwen's hand and being intimate.

"Hanwen, you are good friends with Meier and Bai Zhi. I'm greedy and shouting at you. Thank you today. Let's go, the dishes are ready, let's have a meal first and chat while eating." As he said that, he took Zhu Hanwen's hand and brought it to the hotel. Zhu Hanwen was not surprised by Hu Hansan's enthusiasm. He smiled and looked at Xiong Yue who was a little aggrieved behind him. He thought to himself, this stupid big man's lifelong event seemed to have been decided, but he didn't know whether such a smart father-in-law would be good or bad for him.

It’s hard to be so late in this hotel that the chef has not yet gotten off work, and has arranged a large table of dishes. Zhu Hanwen and Xiong Yue have indeed consumed a lot of energy after the battle just now, and they were not too polite, so they started to eat it voraciously.

The old fox was so calm that he persuaded the wine and the dishes with a smile. Zhu Hanwen cursed in his heart. Both of them knew that they had something to ask for each other, and the other party also wanted him. At this time, whoever asked for it first would be inferior. The skill of nourishing qi was compared. Seeing the people talking and laughing, Zhu Hanwen knew that he must have been able to waste his energy and thought to forget it. Jiang is still so spicy, who made him not have enough chips. He sighed softly and was about to speak. Bai Zhi, who was beside him, suddenly started to talk.

"Uncle Hu, it seems that the Shamanism reappeared in the world this time. The Dugu family has already stated its position and has stood on their side. They have even cooperated with them to develop another method of restraining spirits and souls. On the way back, I have already called my grandma. I believe you have contacted the Liu family and Huang family, but the role played by the Hui family this time does not seem to be glorious. I don't know why they attacked Meier and me. If our five major families cannot be in the same mood, this turmoil may not be able to be eliminated." After saying that, his bright big eyes glanced at Zhu Hanwen who was staring at her in amazement.

Of course, the old fox saw all this. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the girl was outgoing. Then he said with a look of his face: "Well, I have already spoken with the heads of each family. They all attach great importance to the Shamanism and the other four families. I will set off to Shencheng to meet them tomorrow. The heads of each family will be present, including the head of the Hui family, Huimancang. I want to ask him in person what he meant. I really think that I, Hu Hansan, is easy to control!" As he spoke, two cold lights flashed in Hu Hansan's eyes, and the domineering aura of one hero was visible at a glance, and the atmosphere on the dining table was immediately stagnant.

Hu Mei slapped the table with a "slap" and said, "That's it! Especially that Hui Jin and that Hui Yuan, we must ask them to give our family an explanation!" The only person on the table was probably that she didn't care about Hu Hansan's forcing momentum.

When he saw that the two girls were dissolving the soft or hard, Hu Hansan knew that it was impossible to bargain with Zhu Hanwen today. He had a decisive personality, so he simply brought a glass of wine to Zhu Hanwen. Seeing this, Zhu Hanwen quickly got up and held the cup with both hands.

"Big nephew, I have discussed your affairs with our old man. Although this matter is more sensitive, the old man is willing to inquire with the immortal family for you. Who said you are Mei'er's life-saving benefactor? Our Hu family does not have the one who knows how to repay kindness."

"I'm so grateful to my uncle, so I'll bother you for a few more days and wait for your news."

"Hahahaha, why are you polite? Don't talk so much. I feel that I have a good relationship when I see you at first. Have a good rest for two days. When my old man and the old lady arrive, I believe you will be able to see you."

"Are grandparents coming too?!" Hu Mei said in surprise.

"You girl went out to school for a few months, and she was still caught up with such a big deal when she came back. Your grandparents were worried about death. If you were arranged in the ancestral home, you would leave and get here in three days at most."

"Idiot, go shopping with me tomorrow!" Hu Mei patted her seat and stared at Xiong Yue. Xiong Yue was slightly stunned and nodded in agreement.

At a dinner party, the guests and guests were all happy, and they did not talk about how Hu Hansan and the fourth uncle interrogated Ai Libao and Ai Disheng overnight. They just said that the four young people came to Zhu Hanwen's room after drinking and eating. Hu Mei was like a cheerful magpie, holding Xiong Yue's arms and blushing on her face. Bai Zhi looked at her bird's leeing, smiling and shook her head, and said to Zhu Hanwen,

"Zhu Hanwen, it seems that nothing will happen in the past few days. What are you going to do?"

"Let's go around, I don't know what famous places and historical sites are here, I want to go and see them." He still wanted to find out if there were any clues about the other eight dragon sons.

"This Chaoyang is not a tourist city, nor is there a famous scenic spot. There is only one Phoenix Mountain worth a walk. I heard that there is a piece of Shakyamuni's finger bone relics there, and I don't know whether it is true or not." Obviously Bai Zhi didn't believe that this little city with little fame would have such a Buddhist treasure.

"You'll know if you go and have a look. Are you going?" Zhu Hanwen looked at Hu Mei and Xiong Yue, who was still bitter.

"If you don't go, my grandparents are coming. I have to buy a dress for this fool."

"You want to take me to see my grandparents?" Xiong Yue didn't believe his ears.

"Yes, the silly son-in-law will see his father-in-law sooner or later! Why don't you want to do that?" Hu Mei pinched her waist and raised her eyebrows, and she was about to get angry when she acted.

"No, I think my uncle doesn't like me very much..." Xiong Yue said the more he lowered his head, and the words he said were in his mouth and he didn't say it clearly.

"I said you were stunned when you were having dinner. Why didn't my dad like you anymore? You're thinking about it!" Hu Mei's voice suddenly rose octave.

Zhu Hanwen shook his head helplessly and said to Xiong Yue.

"Brother, you really think too much about this. I think Uncle Hu values ​​you very much."

"How do you know?"

"Because he no longer treats you as an outsider. Do you think he just ignored you just now? Uncle Hu is so delicate and sophisticated, how could there be people who can't take care of the dinner table? Even more impossible is that he lacks etiquette. He really treats you as his junior, so he will do this. Is it right? Hu Mei?" He gave Hu Mei a look.

"Xiong Yue! Are you picking my father's gift? Do you ignore him?" As he said that, he pinched Xiong Yue's ear and twisted it counterclockwise, then lifted the stupid man who was more than 1.9 meters tall and walked out. "Let's go, let me know clearly, you dare to pick my father's gift before you marry me. What do you mean!"

"No, my wife, how dare I do it? I really don't mean that." Xiong Yue said, Hu Mei took out of the room.

"Okay, you have worked very hard today, I won't bother you anymore. Have a good rest. See you tomorrow." Bai Zhi stood up, stretched her waist, and returned to her room. Hu Mei's roar and Xiong Yue's screams echoed in the corridor.

Fenghuang Mountain was called Longshan in ancient times. The former Yan civilization emperor Murong Lu built Longxiang Buddhist Temple here. Since then, Fenghuang Mountain has been the ancestral temple of Northeast Buddhism for 1,700 years.

Zhu Hanwen looked at the information in his hand and never expected that this inconspicuous small city was a famous Buddhist city in the northeast. When walking into the mountain gate, what caught his eye was an asphalt road that could pass three cars in parallel. On both sides were lush and small trees. Due to geology, towering trees could not grow in the mountains around the city. Walking up the road along the road, there would occasionally appear some huge stones with calligraphy written on the road. Every time he saw a Bai Zhi next to him, he would stop and take a photo. Today, Bai Zhi wore a gentle white sportswear to the fullest, and she looked particularly sunny and beautiful.

The two of them chatted all the way to the Xia Temple at the foot of the mountain. Although Bai Zhi was a disciple, she still looked devoutly at the entrance of the temple, and she was like burning incense and worshiping Buddha. Zhu Hanwen stood in the middle of the yard and looked at the slender figure of worshiping Buddha in the hall from afar, and looked out of place with the kind men and women coming and going. After Bai Zhi finished the incense, she walked out of the hall with her tilted head and smiled slightly at Zhu Hanwen. Her white and neat teeth reflected the morning sunshine. Her beautiful face was shining with the curling cigarettes. Zhu Hanwen's heart beat faster. She smiled at Bai Zhi unnaturally. The two walked out of the Xia Temple yard side by side.

After leaving Xia Temple, the slope of the mountain road gradually became steeper, and there were finally scattered tourists on the road. After all, it took several kilometers to get from the mountain gate to Xia Temple, and most people still couldn't bear the physical strength, so most tourists chose to take a bus to Xia Temple and even Zhong Temple at the mountain gate.

After walking for about half an hour, they climbed dozens of stone steps. The two of them stepped onto a huge square of thousands of square meters. A square stone tower more than 30 meters high stood in the temple on one side of the square.

The two walked quickly to the temple gate. A wooden plaque was hung on the ancient courtyard gate, with three big characters "Yunjie Temple" written on it. After crossing the courtyard gate, they came to the towering pagoda in front of them as if they were about to rush towards them. After looking around the tower, they found that the tower was a square thirteen-layer densely-eave-shaped solid brick pagoda, divided into four parts: tower base, tower body, tower eaves, and tower top. The tower base is Sumeru-shaped, with a false door on each side, and three pot doors on each side. There are Buddhas and Bodhisattvas carved on both sides, and there are musicians on both sides, and strong men at the four corners. There are upturned lotus supporting the tower body.

The four corners of the tower body are round and leaning pillars. There is a seated Buddha in the middle of the four sides of the tower body. They sit upright on the lotus throne. There is a squid servant on both sides, wearing a crown and a squid man, with a respectful expression. There is a small spiritual tower on both sides of the hat, which seems to be a microcosm of a large tower. The tower body has thirteen eaves, which converge from bottom to top. There is a bronze mirror embedded between the eaves of each floor, and wind chimes are hung at four corners. The lotus on the top of the tower is covered with bowls, and four beads are stringed into the tower.

"This should be Moyun Tower." Bai Zhi pressed her head and said with her head raised, "I didn't expect that this unknown small city would have such a pagoda."

"Yes, I have never seen such a spectacular pagoda in the imperial capital. Besides, it is on the hillside. I really don't know how the ancients did it." Zhu Hanwen couldn't help but admire the perseverance and wisdom of the ancients.

"Amitabha, how dare you ask the two donors are chosen by God?" A voice suddenly sounded behind the two.
